to 347°F (175°C) / 30000 psi (207 mpa), respectively. Additional applications
include extended-reach drilling and long-duration intervals, formations Drill to Produce
with sloughing shales, and high-cost drilling environments in deepwater »» Place wells accurately in harsh drilling
and mature fields. When access to deepwater and extended-reach reservoirs environments
is limited, operators can upgrade to the Geo-Pilot® Duro™ RSS. Reduce Well Time

MITIGATE STICK-SLIP WITH LONG-GAUGE BIT DESIGN
trips with durable long-gauge bit design
Severe torsional vibration can cause irregular rotation of the drillstring, »» Detect stick-slip early by using built-in
leading to excessive bit wear and stick-slip, causing the bit to become monitoring sensors
stationary. The long-gauge bit design features more blades and smaller »» Extend time on bottom by reducing
cutters to be able to handle high-torque and steeper angles, reducing the excessive torque and maximizing ROP
risk for stick-slip. In addition, the Geo-Pilot XL RSS features a torsional
efficiency monitor sensor that provides early warning of stick-slip situations.
Drilling parameters, such as revolutions per minute (RPM) and weight on bit
(WOB), can be adjusted to reduce or eliminate stick-slip, helping operators
reduce well time and maximize rate of penetration (ROP), thus maximizing
asset value.

INCREASE DRILLING PERFORMANCE BY INTEGRATING

A WIRED-MOTOR ASSEMBLY
The Geo-Pilot XL RSS can deliver increased horsepower and RPMs directly
to the bit when matched with a GeoForce® power section between the
RSS and the logging-while-drilling (LWD) system. The upgraded Geo-Pilot
GXT system minimizes casing wear by decoupling the bit speed from the
drillstring speed, giving operators the ability to achieve higher ROP.
